Does anyone know where can I get a giant tea cups (Alice in Wonderland style) ?

 

Thank you!

How big is 'Giant'?

Seriously, one of our local independent garden centres were selling large cups and saucers as plant pots, they were about 18" diamerter and about 10" deep, available in various colours and patters. They weren't cheap though. I'm sure I've seen them in other places though, mainly in gardening sections as planters as above.

If you have a branch of Boundary Mills near you (not that we know where "near you" is - please fill it in on your profile), they were selling the planters that Neil mentions when I went there a month or so ago - might be cheaper than your local garden centre.

By giant I mean at least 3 foot deep...and preferably if they were somewhere in Scotland :unsure:

Thanx

I'd say your best bet is to make them or outsource to someone who can. Chicken wire as a base and papier machee or fibreglass over it.

 

Otherwise, do as the other posters suggest and go check out your nearest garden centre or Homebase/B&Q. If nothing else they might have big enough flowerpots or dustbin-type things that you can then add a wooden or whickenwire/paper machee/fibreglass handle to and paint up.

Basically just google "props hire Scotland and you should get a bunch of results, that's what I did and I only looked at page 1.
